The USAID Economic Governance Program is a five-year USAID funded Project implemented by Deloitte Consulting LLP in Georgia since December 2019.

The purpose of the USAID Economic Governance Program is to improve economic governance and leadership in Georgia. Good economic governance is defined as a system for developing, implementing, and enforcing economic policies, rules, and regulations that are predictable, consistent, transparent, inclusive, and cost-effective. Building on the progress of the government`s economic reform agenda, this program will support the sustainability of the consultative economic reform-making process and promote the formulation, adoption and implementation of priority economic reforms.

It is expected that with improved economic governance, Georgia will be recognized for its transparent, predictable, and inclusive business environment and will attract investments that can fuel the country`s journey to self-reliance in the future.
